Great to meet you!

I grew up in Texas, went to Furman University in South Carolina studying accounting and moved to the Nashville area where I have lived for 20+ years.

After a career working in public accounting followed by a period as a stay-at-home mom, I felt called to change directions. I found healing with therapy and felt the desire to assist others in their healing journey.

I have a BA in Accounting from Furman University, Master in Business Administration from Middle Tennessee State University and Master in Marriage and Family Therapy from Lipscomb University. I am EMDR Trained and a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.

My approach to therapy

I draw from attachment science and Internal Family Systems (IFS), both of which offer a compassionate lens for understanding our inner world and the strength it takes to grow and heal.

I help adults explore how early relationships have shaped their inner world — and how those patterns continue to show up in present-day struggles, especially in relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation. Through the lens of IFS, you will gently get to know the “parts” of you that may feel anxious, shut down, people-pleasing, or self-critical, with curiosity rather than judgment.

What you can expect from me

I believe healing happens in the presence of safety and connection. In our work together, I aim to create a space where all parts of you feel welcome — even the ones that feel messy or misunderstood — so you can experience more self-trust, ease, and authentic connection.
